Simple question lads, Creatine, has it ever affected your sleep? Worse? Better? No difference?
>>77436581It made me bald. Then fin made my impotent.
>>77436581No difference for me. And it might be a placebo, but I feel like its supposed effects for helping with poor sleep hygiene are working in my favor.
>>77436581No, creatine has no effects on sleep. It has no negative effects at all. Your cells already use it naturally and get it from meat. They just normally don't get enough to operate at 100% efficiency. It won't affect your hormones either. Bodybuilders go bald because they're on androgenic steroids, not because of creatine.
>>77436581I've had trouble sleeping ever since I started doing creatine. I wake up at 2-5AM and I can't fall asleep again.

>>77436581Its only effects are making you bald and bloated
>>77436581creatine only affected my sleep when i was up shitting my guts out because of it
>>77436581Non meat protein has no creatine and is why creatine even does anything for you.
>>77436625Try doing legs and cardio once a week max for just enough.
Creatine monohydrate destroyed my bowels and caused insomnia. Creatine HCL no side effects.
